I did more eating than I should have this trip. (Also consumed copious amounts of my favorite food group-beer). Dinners on these trips with the S.O. are always an event I kind of dread-not because I don’t like eating with her, its just that getting her to decide on a place to ear is always an ordeal. She just can’t reconcile the fact that time also has value, and sometimes you cannot eat a great, unique, meal at fast food prices. Her desire for tasty food, often cannot be reconciled with her nagging obsession with price.
Now its not that I am against saving money. But when you are on vacation and want to experience new and different things-it takes some time to find a place that is both good and inexpensive. Especially if you have been doing the tourist thing for a while all day-which usually places you in a location that is not conducive to good cheap eats. So I try to do copious amounts of research to find places that meet the bill-only to have my hopes dashed when we get to the location and she decides its “too smoky” or “its a drinking place”. (She says that like that’s a bad thing). Vienna was particularly frustrating in this regard- we passed on several really intriguing places due to the “smoky/drinky place” routine. And since it was starting to rain-it was not doing much for my humor-to say the least.
Which is why I was doubly suprised that in Prague-she agreed to go into this place we stumbled onto-Parlimentu-on our last night in Praha. It was smoky and it had a lot of people drinking. (Like there is something wrong with that………). It also had some really good food:

It was onion soup-but with a better flavor!
It was more of a bar than a resteraunt proper-and its menu was fairly typical of the tourist offerings that advertised “Czech food”-but I thought on the whole it was quite good. At least the steak with pepper sauce tasted good:

The S.O. had something vegetarianey-seemed mostly rice to me-but it had good flavor:

Whatever tickles your fancy.
We split the sour cream on cucmber salad-as was normal for just about all of our Prague meals this trip:

Too much sour cream if you ask me-but still good.
We skipped dessert-we already had that earlier. With a view.

A really good view!

See! Mili is not the only one who takes cameras with her to dinner!
